The good story:

Brother and his wife left yesterday morning for Las Vegas to meet up with their eldest daughter and her family for another Christmas celebration. Niece and her husband are flying out this morning to return to Salt Lake. It was a fun holiday and one of the best celebrations we had in years, however, I am glad to have things going back to normal. Back to a normal schedule. I will miss the most everyone that visited but it is still good to be back to life as I know it. What about you? How are you feeling today?
We all kind of updated each other throughout this holiday weekend so it seems an Update Day would be kind of futile. Let's just call this post anything you darn well please day. Just post whatever you want to and whatever you want to tell us about.
I'm just going to do the update on award nominations and then spend this day resting and recharging my batteries. On the Myer-Brigs I came out an introvert which basically means you get your energy from within and being around a lot of people zaps your energy. So I am hooking the jumper cables up to unmentionable parts of my body and recharge today.
I reported on the Screen Actors Guild Nominations earlier. Today it is Golden Globe Awards, which will air on January 17th, 2010 on NBC. Again my key is W= Will win. S= Should Win. I= The Hurt Locker

Great story about the loaves & fishes, Bill. People can just be so wonderful!
We're kicking back now. My computer is getting a software upgrade, so I can't be on it quite as much as usual. My printer died, and I got a new one and then found the old software wasn't up to it. One thing leads to another, doesn't it?
The kids are off on a hike right now, so I'm catching up a little. Don't know what else we'll do for the week.
As to the Globes, again, I'm not invested in the awards, having not seen many of the nominees. I won't quarrel with your predictions, except to say I think maybe GLEE will do better than you think it will.
Glad to hear you are happy to be getting back to normal, Bill. Sometimes it is refreshing to get back into the old routine....or a new one.
I too have not seen many of the nominees, so will just go with you.
The only other thing I would like is to ask here for some good vibes, prayers ANYTHING, for the Shankster as he is beginning to show some strong kidney stone passing symptoms!! ..HELP ME...
oh oh I mean help the Shankster....:)
Hi Pat
I loved the story too. Good for that lady and the fact that a lot of realtives kicked in.
The reason I didn't pick Glee is this is the last year for 30 Rock and last shows are usually awarded a going away present.
You are going to have one dynamite computer system when you get all done! And yes one thing does lead to another.
Bill
Hi Dona
Of course both you and The Shankster have my prayers and good thoughts. I will mention it in tomorrow's blog post.
I hope it isn't stones, those are so damn painful.
Bill
Dona, lots of good thoughts and vibes coming for the Shankster! I hear kidney stone-passing is one of the most painful things to endure, so I hope either it's something else or that it goes quickly and easily.
Bill, this is the last year for 30 ROCK?? How too bad! I like that show a lot. So it may win again, and I won't mind at all.
Thanks guys for the vibes..so far so good....its been hours and no more pain...we know or I should say he knows what he is in for, he has had them like clockwork since the early 70's. And every 2 years since I have known him...but it has been longer this time and we were hoping....
Hi Pat
I may be wrong about it being their last season but it seems like I heard Baldwin say he didn't want to do it anymore and without him it might not be that great.
And I do like Glee.
Bill
Hi Dona
We are going to keep hoping. No man as nice as The Shankster deserves that kind of pain!
Bill
Damages the Awsome TV show and Glenn close in that plays great role this show will win victory soon.Wacth Glenn close or to know about her then Download Damages.Really She is greAT.
